Keep the feathers in the airSourced
A shuttlecock game can rely on feet rather than hands
In Chinese jianzi, players keep a feathered shuttlecock from reaching the ground with body parts other than the hands, especially the feet. One form has people kicking it around a circle. Feathered equipment need not imply rackets or hand play.
The next touch can arrive from a foot.
